About the Show
Shamsul is an Uber driver earning money to send home. Spend a day in his cab and truly see what the diversity of New York looks like. To avoid feeling truly alone in this city he befriends a stray cat ... or rather the cat befriended the stray Shamsul. Underneath STRAYS is a strong character study of the 21st Century immigrants plight deftly played by James Rana. “Strays” tells the story of a Pakistani immigrant living alone in Coney Island and the many small encounters that shape his life.
In the traditions of physical comedy and storytelling of Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, and Jacques Tati, “Strays” presents a moving portrait of a Pakistani immigrant’s search for human connection.
